With respect to his experience at Red Hook on the Road, Nelson Hernandez shared these sentiments in an email:
Personally, I want to take this moment to thank each and every one of you at RHOR for all you do to change the lives of many.
I personally heard firsthand from my colleagues attending this training that this was their last hope.
Some were on the verge of eviction while others were having a hard time explaining to their loved ones why they couldn't find meaningful work.
I just want you to know that although you may feel that this is a routine, sometimes mundane task which you perform, we, like many before us, are truly indebted to RHOR for "once we were lost, but now we are found."
May you be blessed.
Thank you !
